(a) By the generalized basic pr inciple of counting there are 26 ⋅ 26 ⋅ 10 ⋅ 10 ⋅ 10 ⋅ 10 ⋅ 10 = 67,600,000 (b) 26 ⋅ 25 ⋅ 10 ⋅ 9 ⋅ 8 ⋅ 7 ⋅ 6 = 19,656,000 2. 64 = 1296 3. An assignment is a sequence i1, …, i20 where ij is the job to which person j is assigned. Since only one person can be assigned to a job, it follows that the s equence is a permutation of the numbers 1, …, 20 and so there a re 20! different possible assign ments. 4. There are 4! possible arra ngements. By assigning instrument s to Jay, Jack, John and Jim, in that order, we see by the genera lized basic principle that ther e are 2 ⋅ 1 ⋅ 2 ⋅ 1 = 4 possibilities. 5. There were 8 ⋅ 2 ⋅ 9 = 144 possible codes. There were 1 ⋅ 2 ⋅ 9 = 18 that started with a 4. 6. Each kitten can be identified by a code number i, j, k, l wh ere each of i, j, k, l is any of the numbers from 1 to 7. The number i represents which wife is carrying the kitten, j then represents which of that wife’s 7 sacks contain the kitten; k represents which of the 7 cats in sack j of wife i is the mother of the kitten; and l represents the number of the kitten of cat k in sack j of wife i. By the generalized princ iple there are thus 7 ⋅ 7 ⋅ 7 ⋅ 7 = 2401 kittens 7. (a) 6! = 720 ( b ) 2 ⋅ 3! ⋅ 3! = 72 (c) 4!3! = 144 ( d ) 6 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 2 ⋅ 2 ⋅ 1 ⋅ 1 = 72 8. (a) 5! = 120 ( b ) 7!
2!2! = 1260 ( c ) 11!
4!4!2! = 34,650 ( d ) 7!
2!2! = 1260 9. (12)!

3 − 10 ⋅ 9 ⋅ 8 = 280 numbers have at least 2 equal values. 280 − 10 = 270 have exactly 2 equal values. 13. With ni equal to the number of length i, n1 = 3, n2 = 8, n3 = 12, n4 = 30, n5 = 30, giving the answer of 83. 14. (a) 30

possible choices of the 5 men and 5 women. They can then be p aired up in 5! ways, since if we arbitrarily order the men then the firs t man can be paired with any of the 5 women, the next with any of the remaining 4, and so on. Hence, there are 10 125!55

Hence, there ar e 94 possible choices. 19. The first gift can go to any of the 10 children, the second to any of the remaining 9 children, and so on. Hence, there are 10 ⋅ 9 ⋅ 8 ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ 5 ⋅ 4 = 604,800 possibilities.
